Each summer on there is a meeting in Lindau, Germany that brings
together Nobel Laureates and about 500 young scientists: undergraduate
students, graduate students, and postdocs. Each year it focuses on a
particular science, and the 2008 meeting will be on physics and will
take place from June 29-July 4. From what I know, it is an extremely
exciting and inspiring (one might say once in a lifetime) experience for
the young scientists involved.
AFABA
Olimpíada de Física 2008
Entre el lunes 22 y el sábado 27 de octubre de 2008 se llevará cabo la Instancia Nacional de la Olimpíada Argentina de Física. La Facultad de Matemática, Astronomía y Física de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba invita a estudiantes secundarios a participar de la olimpíada. Informes: www.famaf.unc.edu.ar/oaf
postdoc job openings at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany)
Two Postdoc Positions in Experimental Nonlinear Optics & Quantum Optics
Two postdoc positions are available in our laser laboratory in the Institute of Applied Physics at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany), dealing with coherent laser-matter interaction, nonlinear optics, and optical information storage/processing. The positions are available for a duration of 1-3 years, depending on the negotiations with the candidate. We offer attractive projects in a modern state-of-the-art laser laboratory, international co-operations, considerable research funds, lively atmosphere and team spirit, and a competitive salary, i.e. based on German standards for academics.
postdoctoral positions in ultrafast dynamics in nanomaterials
We have two openings for postdoctoral fellows in the area ultrafast dynamics
in photovoltaic Nanomaterials. Our research in focused on interfacial charge
transfer processes in photovoltaic and photocatalytic nano-materials and at
solid/liquid interfaces. Nanomaterials of interest include semiconductor
(TiO2, CdSe..) and metal (Au and Ag) nanoparticles, thin films, and
nanocomposites. We also investigate charge transfer dynamics on bulk single
crystal surfaces and at single molecule/nanoparticle level to provide
further insight as well as to facilitate comparison with theoretical
studies. We are employing three spectroscopic methods to examine these
dynamics: 1) pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy in the visible and
infrared in nanomaterials; 2) Second Harmonic and vibrational sum frequency
generation spectroscopy on single crystal surfaces; and 3) single
molecule/particle fluorescence spectroscopy.

13/12/07: Coloquio del DF: El experimento ATLAS en el CERN y su influencia como catalizador de contactos entre la ciencia y la industria israelí
Jorge Mikenberg
Weizmann Institute
RESUMEN:
Las políticas activas del Ministerio de Industria Israelí han permitido a las industrias de alta tecnología
de Israel participar activamente en los experimentos del colisionador de partículas LHC del CERN.
En esta charla presentare varios ejemplos de este tipo de contribuciones y discutiré cómo
se llegó al diseño del Experimento ATLAS, su construcción y su potencial de física para sus primeros
años de funcionamiento a partir de 2008.
Escuela Latinoamericana de Verano

Abstract:
The new generation of imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov detectors (HESS,
MAGIC and VERITAS) have brought about a dramatic growth in the field of
Very High Energy (VHE; E>150 GeV) gamma-ray astronomy
with the detection of ~70 sources over the last few years.
Observations in the southern hemisphere, in particular, have lead to the
discovery of numerous sources (including resolved images of
supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae) as well as the discovery of
new source classes (X-ray binaries, microquasars, galactic
unidentified sources, and the Galactic center).
